Easy Installation Of Mini Blinds
Mini blinds are an effective way to control glare and sun invasion, are easy to operate and provide optimum privacy while maintaining a pleasant appearance. To the delight of many homeowners, mini blinds can be used in conjunction with various other window coverings.
The main drawback to mini blinds is that they are not airtight and they do not provide adequate insulation. Their main feature, however, is to help prevent direct sunlight and they accomplish this feat very well. When selecting mini blinds, it is important to realize that not all are created equally. In fact, they are designed using three basic materials, including vinyl, aluminum and wood. Of all three, vinyl is the least expensive while aluminum offers the largest selection of color and can be custom sized. Wood mini blinds are the most expensive of the materials and, much like aluminum, they can be custom sizes and are available in a variety of different tones.
When measuring for mini blinds, an individual must first determine their position. For instance, inside mounting provides a more custom appearance while outside mounting promotes improved sunlight control. For inside mounting, the width between the areas that will feature brackets must be measured. After noting the narrowest measurement of the top, middle and bottom, the length from the top inside casing to the sill must be measured. If mounting is to be on the outside, the overall width of the coverage area must be measured.
After the area has been measured and the mini blinds purchased, installation should be a piece of cake. Installation will begin by removing the window stop from the top part of the window. Next, the brackets that accompanied the mini blinds will need to be screwed to the side window casing at the top. During this step, two to three screws should be used per bracket. The mini blinds are then ready to be slid into the brackets. Once in place, the mini blinds can be secured by placing the end caps over the brackets.
For many individuals, the installation of mini blinds is an easy task. However, for those who do not wish to undertake this task or who simply do not have the time, a professional home repair specialist may be the best way to ensure proper installation. Due to the simplicity of the project and the fact that the mini blinds are already purchased, the cost of installation should be minimal.

It does the job, seems sturdy and looks nice. Good value for what it is. However... the shelves in the central section are not adjustable, and the width of all the shelves is too thin to fit a standard file box in, which makes the shelves a bit awkward to use.

Easy to order and arrived quickly. The overall quality is good, although when putting it together, some of the predrilled holes in the from section of the seat, requiring unnecessary adjustment to make it fit. Otherwise very happy with the bench.

Great start to my new garden. Look great as they blend with the colour of my fence. Really worth the money. Only thing I would add is it would be good if you could order them in a smaller quantity.

I've purchase 4 of these storage deck boxes. Two in white, and two in taupe. I'm even using one as an ottoman with a cushion on it. Just excellent.

Sturdy and very large! Perfect for storing garden cushions and many other things! Finishing on lid a little messy but other than that, easily assembled and attractive

The assembled chair is solid, comfortable, and a screaming deal compared to other composite adirondack chairs.

I looked at the assembly diagrams for a bit and then I sussed them out - it became obvious and all 4 pieces now constructed successfully

This bench is beautiful! The color is as pictured but is even richer in actuality. The bench was super easy to put together. Just know that the last bit of hardware that looks like a screw is a tool to screw into the cams to hold them in place within the predrilled holes. This allows you to align and screw into the cams without guesswork. I withheld the fifth star in reservation regarding the bench's ability to remain outside and withstand weather. In Florida, we leave outdoor furniture out year-round. The directions with the bench advise you to wax the wood periodically and "cover the bench" when not in use. So, we'll see how it holds up! I WILL wax the wood and it'll be so worth it to visually enjoy seeing this bench in my courtyard outside year round!

Pleased with the garden set. Easy to assemble and very good value for money. A good size for our small garden and the colour is better than imagined from the online images. Excellent delivery service.

Comfortable rounded front and wide arms for holding your drink and a book. Pretty additions to our porch. Not quite tall enough in the back for my husband's tall torso (he can't rest his head) so we add a pillow for him. Happy with our purchase; good price for nice, solid chairs.

For what it is, it’s well made and strong, but I thought I was ordering a natural wood item, as that’s what the description said. But it turned out to be made of covered particle board. A very loose use of the words “ natural wood “. If I’d ordered covered particle board I’d have given 5 stars as it’s well made. It was just too close to Christmas and guests arriving to return it.

It’s easy to assemble and looks good in our garden. However the cushions are poor quality and after little use are already losing their firmness and shape

Prompt delivery, good quality set for my apartment balcony. Just took about 15 minutes to unpack box, put on screw in feet, etc. Only grief was an annoying large sticker on the table glass top that just wouldn't peel off but soon removed after buying and using some white spirit

They are very well made for the price ... keep in mind that they are affordable and not made to be passed down through generations.. They dressed up my otherwise dull dining room chairs and table with the added bonus that we can take them out by the pool if so inclined. They are even comfortable! I am not expecting them to last forever but know that I will get my money's worth out of them.

Swing is really pretty, however it arrived damaged. The arm on the swing was broken and some of the holes were not fully drilled. I still put it together, as I didn’t have the strength to go through everything again. It is very pretty though!
